Chicago Wedding!

Luke and Andrea!

Exchanging vows (in a popcorn style) they wrote to each other.

The vows were amazing!  Seriously!

Introducing, for the first time...

Tyler and Jennifer (married in July)

My uncle, aunt, cousins and their lovely brides!

My family!

Somehow my uncle got caught with the veil and bouquet! :)

It was such a great weekend to celebrate a wonderful family!  It was truly super to see everyone again, catch up and reconnect!  What an honor to attend such an event!

Hugs to all!

Backwards Day!

We celebrated CC's half birthday with a backwards day!

We started our morning with bedtime prayers and a story. Then we all put our clothes on backwards and moved from there into a spaghetti dinner (with coffee)!  Everything we could think of, we did backwards. We walked backwards, tried talking backwards, said our thank yous and then our pleases, we read books back to front, announced the winner before we started the game and all our meals were "all mixed up"! Our day ended with a candlelight breakfast where we each took a turn to tell CC what we loved the most about her and we lit one candle and sang to our sweet girl. She hugged my neck that night and whispered, "I just love silly mommy! I hope we can always be silly together!"

(me too sweetie, me too!)

Howdy from our home to yours!

Candlelight breakfast!

BFA Reunion!

We had a wonderful weekend together! The turn out may seem low, but from a class of 29 students that currently live around the world.... we did pretty well! :) 

We tried ooVoo!  We were able to chat with other classmates in China, Ontario, Missouri, Finland and Qatar!  Below we are chatting and catching up!

Pike Place Market!

Missed the photo op in front of the original Starbucks as I was distracted by the mustache coming my way!  :)

Sunset Dinner and more catching up!

Miss you all!  Let's not wait so long next time!  :)

We've waited all summer (we planted him late) to see our sunflower bloom!

SO MUCH excitement when we saw the yellow ready to peak out!  We'll keep you posted!
